Thanks. She use to be a horrible snake when she was younger. She loved to bit and hated to be held. But she's tempered down with old age and is a sweetie. Never bites and is just a curious old soul.
 
Oh my goodness! (I actually said that outloud). That is amazing. Good for you and her :) you're both doing something right ;)
She is beautiful.
 
Una

Click to expand...

i got her when i was 13 from a reptile show.

When i was in grade six we had a teacher that had 103 snakes and taught us about feeding and proper husbandry. i begged and begged my parents for one and at 12 they let me get my first...a male named Baby who has sinced past away and Una a year later she was already a year old when i got her.
 
That is so cool! I showed my kids and told them how old they would be if their corn snake lived to even 20. My son would be in his low 30s and daughters in their upper 20s! So cool! That's why I got them each a corn snake, so they could take it with when they go and have the fun memories. They love "their" snakes.
 
1991 was a good year!

I hope you have put her longevity genes into new generations of cornsnakes. She probably can turn 28 or maybe 30 before she pass by.

Some cornsnakes get old att age 10 and others are healthy years after they turned 20. It must be something wrong if a snake turns old at age 10.
